Patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings".
This patchset fixes warnings about unused but initialized variables, and
unused dummy buffer passed to pwrite() syscall in the tests.
This patch (of 2):
memfd_test.c: In function 'mfd_fail_grow_write.part.0':
memfd_test.c:685:13: warning: '<unknown>' may be used uninitialized
[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
685 | l = pwrite(fd, buf, mfd_def_size * 8, 0);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pwrite() is declared with attribute 'access (read_only, 2, 3)', so GCC
knows it reads from the buffer. malloc() returns uninitialized memory,
hence the warning. Use calloc() to zero-initialize the buffer. The
actual contents don't matter here since the test verifies that pwrite()
fails on a sealed memfd.
